Everyone was sitting together for dinner, and no one asked why Zeng Shan hadn’t co back.
After a while, Zeng Shan returned, startled for a mont when he saw everyone, then let out a cold snort.
"Oh, you still rember to co back, huh!"
"I almost forgot I had parents!"
Seeing Zeng Shan return, the smiles disappeared from everyone’s faces in the room.
Wang Guilan said with a cold expression, "I’m the one who called the kids back to eat together. If you want to eat, eat; if not, go out!"
Zeng Shan: "This is my house. Why should I go out!"
Zeng Shan plopped down into a seat. "In my own house, I’ll do whatever I want, and no one can push out!"
After speaking, he grabbed a chicken leg from the plate all by himself and started eating.
"Mom..."
Nuonuo glanced at her mother, and Dai Ling gently comforted her, "It’s okay, let’s eat."
After finishing the al, Zeng Shan got up, poured himself a glass of water, took out his dicine, and swallowed it.
Zeng Li noticed this and asked, "Dad, what’s wrong?"
Zeng Shan replied with a cold face: "Not dead yet!"
Zeng Li: .....
Dai Ling glanced at her father-in-law’s dicine bottle, then lowered her head to feed her daughter, suddenly raising her head again to look at her father-in-law’s dicine bottle.
Noticing his daughter-in-law’s gaze, Zeng Shan quickly took the dicine away.
Dai Ling’s eyes followed the dicine in her father-in-law’s hand, her hands trembling slightly.
"I called you all here today to tell you sothing..."
Dai Ling felt a chill all over her body. She put down her chopsticks and started searching on her phone.
"I’m planning to divorce your dad."
"What?!"
"Mom?"
"Dear!"
Zeng Shan, who hadn’t heard clearly, dug into his ears.
Zeng Li looked utterly shocked.
Dai Ling, with trembling hands, held up the phone for her husband to see.
Wang Guilan sat there very calmly.
"You want to divorce ?! Are you kidding? Is your brain kicked by a donkey? Have you grown guts now?"
Zeng Shan mocked.
Dai Ling pulled her husband, showing him the search results on the phone...
Zeng Li, being dragged, looked at the phone, "Lingling, talk about this later."
Dai Ling held her husband’s hand tightly, "Look... this is the dicine dad is taking..."
Upon hearing this, Zeng Li’s eyes turned to the phone.
The first thing he noticed were the words ’AIDS treatnt’.
His eyes widened in shock, staring seriously at the content on the phone.
Zeng Li looked up, "Dad, what dicine did you just take?"
The two arguing didn’t hear his son’s words at all.
Dai Ling stood up and quickly took out the dicine her father-in-law had just put away.
She looked at the words on the bottle...
"Clatter"
A pile of pills fell to the ground.
Zeng Li quickly picked them up and compared them with the dicine on the phone.
Exactly the sa!
"Dad! What dicine are you taking!!!"
Zeng Li shouted loudly.
The sudden shout startled the two who were arguing.
Wang Guilan looked at the dicine in her son’s hand with confusion.
Seeing this, Zeng Shan’s face instantly changed.
"What, what dicine! Just so supplents!"
"Supplents?!"
Zeng Li held up his phone, "Then why does it say AIDS treatnt dicine here?!"
"What?!"
Wang Guilan’s heart tightened, she suddenly looked at Zeng Shan.
"Did you get AIDS! Have you been ssing around outside?"
Seeing that he couldn’t hide the truth anymore, Zeng Shan reluctantly admitted.
"What’s the big deal, this disease is pretty common now. Anyone you grab on the street might have it..."
Dai Ling was trembling with anger, "When did you get this disease?"
Zeng Li: "Before we moved out?"
Zeng Shan: "I only found out last month."
Dai Ling was breaking down, "You knew you were sick, why did you still sit with us to eat!!!"
Wang Guilan’s tears fell directly. What kind of sin was this!
That night, Zeng Li took his wife, daughter, and mother to the hospital for tests and dication.
In the ti that followed, everyone lived in tornt.
The results ca out; everyone was fine except Mrs. Zeng.
But being fine now doesn’t an being truly fine.
Mrs. Zeng was infected, and she still decided to divorce.
Dai Ling recalled when she went back to pack her things, she originally saw her husband’s razor in the sink and was about to take it.
But then she noticed a few blood spots on the towel beside it, and felt disgusted.
She didn’t take anything from the bathroom.
It made her feel uneasy.
Thinking back now, fortunately, she didn’t take it, otherwise...
In the end, under Wang Guilan’s insistence, Zeng Shan and Wang Guilan got divorced.
After the divorce, Wang Guilan left all her assets to her son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.
One day, she committed suicide.
Originally, she wanted to live a carefree life after the divorce.
Now, having contracted the disease, no matter where she went, she might unintentionally infect others.
Moreover, she didn’t want to live the rest of her life in tornt.
Having lived for over fifty years, she felt it was enough.
...
In the scenes Lin Xiaoyan "saw," Zeng Shan’s wife was infected by him, and she committed suicide.
Yet he continued to live free and easy.
His son and daughter-in-law no longer cared about him, but he had a pension. Without his son, daughter-in-law, and wife, in the park’s dance floor, he was like a golden bachelor!
He only needed to spend the cost of a pack of cigarettes to have soone dance with him.
Spend another half or full pack, and he could...
...
The Lin Xiaoyan family played in Ning City for two days.
On the third day at noon, Lin Cong and his wife Li Yan took ti off to et Lin Fu and Lin Mu.
"Uncle, Aunt!"
Lin Cong greeted Lin Fu and Lin Mu with a big smile.
Li Yan also followed suit.
"Sister-in-law, Sister."
Seeing Fan Lalan and Lin Xiaoyan, the two quickly greeted them.
Lin Xiaoyan looked at her sister-in-law, "Yanyan, you’ve lost weight!"
Li Yan smiled, "Yes, I finally did."
She touched her waist. When she was at ho, no matter what she did, she couldn’t lose weight. Now working away from ho without anything to worry about, plus working in a factory, she naturally slimd down.
Fan Lalan looked at Li Yan’s figure, eyes full of envy.
"Yanyan, how much do you weigh now?"
Li Yan: "One hundred and ten pounds."
"One hundred and ten pounds!!!"
Fan Lalan looked at Li Yan with bright eyes, "How much weight did you lose in such a short ti!"
Lin Cong laughed, "She doesn’t eat at night, wouldn’t she lose weight?"
Li Yan retorted, "Sotis with overti, there’s no ti to eat."
Lin Fu and Lin Mu listened, eyes showing a look of concern.
"You’re so busy at the factory?"
Lin Cong: "Yes, we are quite busy. The factory is doing well, they’ve opened a new one here, and we ca over. These days we’re cleaning and assembling machines, once that’s done, we’ll start officially working."
Lin Fu: "What’s your monthly pay?"
Lin Cong: "When we first started, it was tough, I got four thousand, she got over three thousand."
Li Yan: "Last month I earned more than him. I got six thousand, he got only over five thousand."
Lin Mu praised, "That’s great, together you both earn over ten thousand a month."
Lin Fu: "Great, after living expenses, you can save a few thousand a month."
"Work hard. While you’re young, work for a few more years."
Lin Cong nodded, "Got it, Uncle."
Lin Mu: "Let’s go, we’ll talk while eating."
